Our Day By The Sea

Monday, March 10, 2014

Hello!

I've lost an hour of sleep, but I'm really excited about it. Why? More light in the afternoon! I made this card yesterday inspired by our day at the shore on Saturday. It was a little hazy and grey, but the sun was out!

I tried to capture the colors and mood of the day. It's amazing how the way the watercolor dries on the paper can make me so happy!

I used dye ink swiped in stripes on my craft sheet to create the watercolor background. Starting at the bottom I swiped on tan, blue, light blue, and grey. I spritzed it all with water and dragged my paper through the colors sideways so that the color mimicked the sand, sea, and sky.

Awesome, Kara! I've been playing with watercolor techniques but am a long way from anything so gorgeous. You really captured the feel of the your day at the beach. Glad you had a day to relax & enjoy the water!
